Stray Kids' I.N has marked his birthday by donating 100 million won to share warmth and kindness.
On February 8, I.N celebrated his birthday by giving back to his fans' love with a generous donation of 100 million won to the National Cancer Center. The donation will be used to support the treatment costs for underprivileged cancer patients and psychological therapy for pediatric and adolescent cancer patients.
I.N expressed, "I wanted to share the love I received from fans and hope to bring warmth to those enduring long treatments. I hope this small contribution becomes a source of hope and courage, and I sincerely wish for their recovery."
I.N has consistently practiced the value of sharing through his charitable activities. In 2024, he was appointed as the youngest member (at age 23) of the Green Noble Club, a group of major donors who have contributed over 100 million won to the Child Welfare Agency Green Umbrella. Last year, he donated to cover treatment costs for pediatric cancer patients at Samsung Seoul Hospital on his birthday. Additionally, in April 2025, he joined Stray Kids members in supporting recovery efforts for wildfire damage in the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions and in November for fire damage recovery activities in Hong Kong.
Stray Kids, having solidified their status as 'Global Top Artists' with significant achievements in 2025, continue their active endeavors in 2026. They are set to engage with global audiences as headliners at the 'The Governors Ball Music Festival' in New York on June 6 and 'Rock in Rio' in Brazil on September 11.
